Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
1,322,099	Nov. 18, 1919	Shears	George O. Leopold	Philadelphia, PA	This shear is "particularly adapted for cutting brake linings". This patent date was seen on a Model A-10 shear from Unishear Co., Inc.; the shear is a good match to the patent drawing except that it is a motor-powered shear where the drawing shows a hand lever providing power.

1,493,171	May. 06, 1924	Shears	FranÃ§ois Alexis Henri DeschÃ¢tres	, France	The 1940 lawsuit, Stanley Works v. C. S. Mersick Co., tells us that the American rights to this patent were owned by the Stanley Works, which inherited them when they acquired Unishear Co., Inc. See this patent's reissue for more information. The original French manufacturer of this invention was "Achard et Cie" according to that Stanley Works v. Mersick lawsuit. Early machines sold by Unishear were manufactured by Achard et Cie in France, but deliveries were erratic and they began selling their Model A-14 which was manufactured for them in the US, by an unknown manufacturer. Gueneau, the owner of this patent, sued for infringement but a settlement was quickly reached that allowed Unishear to continue making and selling the A-14. The application for reissue was filed the day after that settlement was signed; the reissue was made to broaden the original claims.

1,765,317	Jun. 17, 1930	Cutting blade for shears	Gustave A. Ungar	Pelham Manor, NY	This patent was mentioned in passing in the 1940 lawsuit, Stanley Works v. C. S. Mersick Co., as having been withdrawn shortly before the lawsuit was filed. This patent number, along with patent numbers 17,139 and 1,796,812, was seen on a Stanley Unishear.

1,796,812	Mar. 17, 1931	Shears	Herbert J. Heller	New York, NY	The 1940 lawsuit, Stanley Works v. C. S. Mersick Co., tells us that the U.S. rights to this patent were owned by the Stanley Works. This patent number, as well as patent numbers 1,765,317 and 17,139, were seen on a Stanley No. 16A Unishear. The inventor had been one of the principals of Unishear Co., Inc., which in late 1929 was acquired by Stanley Electric Tool Co., a newly formed subsidiary of The Stanley Works. It seems likely that this patent was also used by Unishear.
